The Accidents, A new Thanet based High Energy rockabilly band on the local circuit Having been travelling the UK as part of successful rock and roll band This Little Girl and the Dillicats for about six years, John, Charlie and Keri have now branched off and created the new - and fairly different - rockabilly band "The Accidents". As much as they love travelling and the music they play, they would like to do more local work with a slightly different style! The Accidents are, John Blackwell - Double Bass, Charlie Blackwell - Lead Guitar, Keri Blackwell - Stand-up Drums Check out our upcoming events for a gig near you!

Broadstairs Blues Bash Fri 20th Feb • Sat 21st Feb • Sun 22nd Feb
With Christmas out of the way the next highlight in the Thanet calendar is Kentís Biggest blues festival ‘Broadstairs Blues Bash’.This is the seventh year of the festival and there are in excess of 45 national and international blues bands all playing for free from Friday 20th February at 6pm through til Sunday evening at 10pm. The highlight of the weekend is the late night Pavilion show.This year it is on Friday and features Rosco Levee and the Southern Slide and Giles Robson and the Dirty Aces.Tickets are available online and the doors open at 8pm through til well past midnight.Tickets are only £15 for a late night Blues Extravaganza. For more details on the other bands playing for free around the pubs go to www.broadstairsbluesbash.com. Another highlight of the weekend is the free jam session at the Pavilion on Sunday from 12 til 4pm.This is an opportunity for artistes playing in the festival and festival goers alike to get up and jam together. Make sure to get there early to book your slot. If youíve not been before, Broadstairs is a great place to see live music because you can walk from pub to pub following your programme, wearing your T-Shirt and badge.The music is staggered throughout the day so you can see a bit of everything. Multi award winning Babajack appear at the Wrotham Arms on Saturday 21st Feb, theyíre a top band so expect to pay a very fair fiver to go and see them in this intimate venue. Many of the bands have been nominated (and won) national awards such as the amazing King Size Slim who recently supported Queen on New Years Eve. So keep the weekend free and have an amazing time.
